A Model of Chaotic Drug Markets and Their Control
Type: ResearchDrug markets are often described informally as being chaotic, and there is a tendency to believe that control efforts can make things worse, not better, at least in some circumstances. This paper explores the idea that such statements might be literally true in a mathematical sense by considering a discrete-time model of populations of drug users and drug sellers for which initiation into either population is a function of relative numbers of both populations. The structure of the system follows that considered in an arms control context by Behrens et al. (1997). In this context, the model suggests that depending on the market parameter values, the uncontrolled system may or may not be chaotic. Static application of either treatment or enforcement applied to a system that is not initially chaotic can make it chaotic and vice versa, but even if static control would create chaos, dynamic controls can be crafted that avoid it. So called OGY controls seem to work well for this example.

A Model of Moderation: Finding Skiba Points on a Slippery Slope
Type: ResearchA simple model is considered that rewards "moderation" - finding the right balance between sliding down either of two "slippery slopes". Optimal solutions are computed as a function of two key parameters: (1) the cost of resisting the underlying uncontrolled dynamics and (2) the discount rate. Analytical expressions are derived for bifurcation lines separating regions where it is optimal to fight to stay balanced, to give in to the attraction of the "left" or the "right", or to decide based on one’s initial state. The latter case includes situations both with and without so-called Dechert- Nishimura-Skiba (DNS) points defining optimal solution strategies. The model is unusual for having two DNS points in a one-state model, having a single DNS point that bifurcates into two DNS points, and for the ability to explicitly graph regions within which DNS points occur in the 2-D parameter space. The latter helps give intuition and insight concerning conditions under which these interesting points occur.

A Perspective on Regional Advantage that Focuses on the Individual Experience
Type: ResearchThe dissertation examines how individuals form expectations and beliefs about opportunities available in the place they live. Opportunities are a powerful motivator for human behavior in a place. Opportunities stimulate people to engage in social activities, initiate business ventures, pursue a better education, and other relevant behavior. Yet, no research in urban or regional development has empirically explored this concept at the individual level, its drivers and underlying mechanisms. The dissertation develops a model where “opportunity beliefs” areshaped both by objective information about economic conditions and resources in a place (i.e.employment, wages and housing costs) and by other place-specific characteristics, ranging fromits socio-demographic structure to its natural and recreational amenities. The model is testedusing a survey on place-related attitudes and beliefs conducted by the Gallup Organization in2006. The survey provides a dataset of 28,000 individuals located in various parts of the UnitedStates. The Gallup’s database has been integrated with actual city demographics and statisticsregarding each respondent’s city/location using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the American Community Survey and other sources. This unique dataset combines individual characteristicsand responses and place-specific features. Results from structural equation modeling estimation show that opportunity beliefs areshaped both by economic conditions of the place and by amenities such as restaurants, cafes, artgalleries as well as colleges and universities (collectively referred to as “symbolic amenities”).These factors’ effects are moderated by two important mechanisms that are: the perception ofsocial openness and of economic dynamism. Unemployment rates and other economic conditionshave a modest though significant effect on the perception of economic dynamism. Symbolicamenities instead affect both mediators, emerging as powerful “signals” that residents used toform ideas about the economic dynamism of a place. Finally, in the case of symbolic amenitiesthe analysis also shows a significant moderating effect by individual creativity.

A Plan Induction System for Monitoring and Interpreting Operator Interventions in Process Control Environments
Type: ResearchThis paper describes the architecture and behavior of a prototype intelligent decision support system for monitoring operations in complex process control environments. Development of the underlying model required an examination of the various influences on process outcomes, including not only the causal nature of physical processes themselves, but also the role of human interventions and the associated impact of operating procedures on human behavior. The empirical study of nuclear power plant operations used in this research indicates that procedures are an important, but not necessarily deterministic, influence on the intervening behavior of an operator. Operators will deviate from procedures when the requirements of a situation render a procedure inadequate or counterproductive. Goal- and plan-based knowledge structures were derived from physical processes, operating procedures, and human operators. These structures were incorporated into the model's knowledge base, which serves as the basis for interpretation and prediction of operator interventions in a series of emergency scenarios in simulated real-time. The eventual goal of this research is to enhance management oversight and control of complex, dynamic task environments by providing both management and operators with advice that is informed by an understanding of the constituent influences on process outcomes.

A Prototype Decision Aid for Internal Control Testing Plan Selection
Type: ResearchThe research reported here takes a preliminary step to providing auditors with decision support for making assertion-level control risk assessments by developing a prototype decision aid that helps auditors select an optimal control testing plan designed to achieve target assertion-level control risk assessments. The aid supports the control testing plan selection decision by modeling accounting information system components based on their impacts on financial statements assertions, providing an evidence combination algorithm based on reliability theory, and identifying all optimal control testing plans. The aid was validated by comparing its testing plans to both experienced auditors and a professional benchmark. The results indicate that the aid’s testing plans test sufficient controls to provide auditors with their desired assurance but do so by testing fewer controls than either experienced auditors or a professional benchmark.

Adaptive Business Intelligence
Type: News | Release Date: 7/22/2010
On Tuesday 20 July Professor Zbigniew Michalewicz addressed students and faculty of Carnegie Mellon University, Heinz College Australia, on the topic ‘Adaptive Business Intelligence’.

Adaptive Organizations and Emergent Forms
Type: ResearchOver time organizations change and coordinate personnel in new ways. Such changes may be precipitated by actual or anticipated changes in personnel, the environment, technologies, legislation, or the top management team. This adaptation is constrained and not all forms of coordination are feasible. Since organizations are inherently computational entities insight is gained by examining the adaptation of organizations using intelligent artificial agents. Using ORGAHEAD, a multi-agent model of organizational behavior, a series of virtual experiments were run to examine issues of organizational adaptation. Results suggest the concurrent occurrence of experiential learning and structural learning generates within the organization the ability to learn meta-change strategies which can be either adaptive or maladaptive. Such meta-change strategies effectively lock organizations into divergent paths of behavior which produce heterogeneity of form across the population of organizations. Organizational performance and form depend on a complex of array of factors including environmental change, experiential and structural learning, and the emergence of institutionalized strategies.

Adjusting GPA to Reflect Course Difficulty
Type: ResearchThe computation of Graduate Point Average (GPA) incorrectly assumes that grades are comparable across courses and instructors. GPA overstates the performance of students who elect an "easier" course of study relative to those who choose a more "difficult" course of study. This paper proposes a method of adjusting GPA and applies it to data from one cohort of undergraduates at Carnegie Mellon University. Adjusted GPAs are more highly correlated with students’ high school Grade Point Average and with SAT scores than are the raw GPAs or GPAs adjusted using a prominent alternative method, Item Response Theory. A survey of students finds that the new methods’ estimates of relative course difficulty are consistent with students’ perceptions of relative course difficulty.

All Reviews Are Not Created Equal: The Dissagregate Impact of Reviews and Reviewers at Amazon.com
Type: ResearchOnline product review networks play an important role in Internet commerce by transmitting information that customers can use to evaluate physical products in a digitally mediated marketplace. These networks frequently include an explicit social component allowing consumers to view both how community members have rated individual product reviews and the social status of individual reviewers. Moreover, the prior literature has not analyzed the impact of these social cues on consumer behavior, focusing instead on the impact of aggregate review ratings. This work extends this prior work by analyzing how these social factors impact consumer responses to disaggregate review information. To do this, a new dataset collected from Amazon.com’s customer reviews of books is used. This dataset allows to control for the degree to which other community members found the review helpful, and the reputation of the reviewer in the community.

An Age-Structured Single-State Initiation Model -- Cycles of Drug Epidemics and Optimal Prevention Programs
Type: ResearchThis paper introduces a mode for drug initiation that extends traditional dynamic models by considering explicitely the age distribution of the users. On the basis of a 2-groups model in which the population is split into a user and a non-user group the advantage of a continuous age distribution is shown by considering more details and by yielding new results. Neglecting death rates reduces the model to a single state (1-group) descriptive model which can still simulate some of the complex behavious of drug epidemics such as repeated cycles. Further more, prevention programs, especially school-based programs can be targeted to certain age classes. So in order to discover how best to allocate resources to prevention programs over different age classes we formulate and solve optimal control models.

An Empirical Analysis of Cellular Voice and Data Services
Type: ResearchCellular telephony and associated data services has been a major social phenomena for well over a decade now. It has changed the way - in some countries more than others - in which people communicate. In many countries in Northern Europe and Asia, its penetration rates are very high and in others less so but in all cases it has engendered change at multiple levels - socially as noted and in terms of market structure and competition with the established Incumbent Local Exchange and Inter Exchange service providers. However, there has been little work published in the academic literature on user consumption of cellular voice and data services. This has been due to the unavailability of longitudinal data at the individual user level on their consumption of voice and data services. We have such data from a large cellular service provider in Asia. Demand for voice and data services is influenced by the tariffs or "service plans" offered by firms. In our analysis we empirically estimate the drivers for cellular services how demographic and plan characteristics affect the user choices. We first provide a theoretical model and then provide insight into consumption patterns over a one year period of cellular voice and data services and relate it to service plan design.

An Information Visualization Approach to Classification and Assessment of Diabetes Risk in Primary Care
Type: ResearchChronic disease risk assessment is a common information processing task performed by primary care physicians. However, efficiently and effectively integrating information about many risk factors across many patients is cognitively difficult. Methods for visualizing multidimensional data may augment risk assessment by providing reduced-dimensional displays which classify patient data. This study develops a framework which combines medical evidence, statistical dimensionality reduction techniques, and information visualization to develop visual classifiers for the task of diabetes risk assessment in a population of patients. The framework is evaluated in terms of classification accuracy and medical interpretation for two case studies, prediction of type 2 diabetes onset and prediction of heart attacks in adults with type 2 diabetes.

An Integrated Approach to Developing Human Services Web Portals
Type: ResearchA major goal for Human Services Web Portals is to make as much expertise available as possible for clients and their caregivers. The expertise covers three main areas - diagnosing a client’s problem, identifying available resources for solution, and finally, providing assistance to package these resources into a service plan that will serve as a solution for the client’s problem. The main challenge in setting up a human services web portal lies in the nature of diversity and complexity in both the client set and the set of problems clients want to address. Therefore offering prepackaged solutions is not an option. We describe an integrated human services web portal design and provide a phased approach for implementation. Finally, we generalize our design for other domains in which external expertise is required as a component of service delivery.

Application of Tracking Signals to Detect Time Series Pattern Changes in Crime Mapping Systems
Type: ResearchTracking signals are widely used in industry to monitor inventory and sales demand. These signals automatically and quickly detect departures in product demand, such as step jumps and outliers, from "business-as-usual". This paper explores the application of tracking signals for use in crime mapping to automatically identify areas that are experiencing changes in crime patterns and thus may need police intervention.. Detecting such changes through visual examination of time series plots, while effective, creates too large a work load for crime analysts, easily on the order of 1,000 time series per month for mediumsized cities. It is demonstrated that the so-called smoothed-error-term tracking signal and carry out an exploratory validation on 10 grid cells for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Underlying the tracking signal is an extrapolative forecast that serves as the counterfactual basis of comparison. The approach to validation is based on the assumption that we wish tracking signal behavior to match decisions made by crime analysts on identifying crime pattern changes. Tracking signals are presented in the context of crime early warning systems that provide wide area scanning for crime pattern changes and detailed drill-down maps for crime analysis. Based on preliminary results, the tracking signal is a promising tool for crime analysts.

Are AFDC and SSI Substitutes?
Type: ResearchThe passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 for the first time placed strict limits on the amount of support families could receive from the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program (AFDC). Generally, researchers and policy makers have both assumed that any substitute support that does arise will be from non-governmental sources – women will either find work, receive support from family members, or be aided by local religious organizations or other private charities. We investigate the potential for one government program, the Social Security Insurance (SSI) program, to simply substitute for the reductions in the AFDC program. We find strong evidence that AFDC and SSI are substitutes. This suggests that at least part of the effect of welfare reform will be to shift the burden of support for poor families from one government program to another rather than from governmental to non-governmental sources.  

Are Invisible Hands Good Hands? Moral Hazard, Competition, and the 2nd Best in Health Care Markets
Type: ResearchThe nature and normative properties of competition in health care markets have long been the subject of debate. In this paper we consider what the optimal benchmark is in the presence of moral hazard effects on consumption due to health insurance. Moral hazard is widely recognized as one of the most important distortions in health care markets. In general, economic analysis suggests that marginal-cost pricing leads to static Pareto optimal allocations. In health care markets, however, moral hazard due to health insurance leads to excess consumption, in the sense that insured individuals will consume medical services past the point where the marginal utility of an additional service is equal to its marginal cost (Arrow, 1963; Pauly, 1968). Since health insurance pays for part or all medical expenses, insured individuals face a price that is lower than the market price and consume more of the medical good than is optimal. Therefore it is not obvious that competition or marginal cost pricing is second best optimal given this distortion. The principal claim of this paper is that most of economists’ intuition regarding the welfare effects of price changes in markets not distorted by moral hazard applies quite well to markets where decision-making by consumers is distorted by moral hazard. In particular, lower prices are better for consumers than are higher prices. Furthermore, the gain to consumers from lowering price from supra-marginal cost levels to marginal costs outweighs the loss of profit to the medical industry. Finally, the usual method of computing consumer’s surplus by integration under the demand curve is still appropriate in markets with moral hazard.

Assessment of Crime Forecasting Accuracy for Deployment of Police
Type: ResearchCrime forecasting is a new area of research, following upon the success of crime mapping for support of tactical deployment of police resources. The major question investigated in this paper is whether it is possible to accurately forecast crime one month ahead at a “smallscale” aggregation, i.e., at the precinct level. In a case study of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we contrast the forecast accuracy of standard, univariate time series models with non-modeling practices commonly used by police. Included is a comparison of seasonality estimates made by precinct versus the city as a whole. As suspected for the small-scale data of this problem, average crime count by precinct and crime type is the major determinant of forecast accuracy. A fixed effects regression model of absolute percent forecast errors shows that such counts need to be on the order of 30 or more to achieve accuracy of 20 percent error or less. A second major result is that practically any model-based forecasting approach is vastly more accurate than current police practices. Thirdly, this is the first empirical paper to investigate crime seasonality at the sub-city level. Our seasonality estimates provide evidence supporting the routine activities theory of crime, but not earlier theories.

Benchmarking Economic Development: Regional Strategy in Silicon Valley, Austin, Seattle, Oregon and Cleveland.
Type: ResearchThis paper explores "best-practice" regional economic development strategies in cities and regions throughout the United States. Benchmarking case studies were performed on Silicon Valley, Austin, Seattle, Oregon, and Cleveland consisting of field research, site visits and extensive personal interviews. While some of these regional efforts are quite new, and have not advanced beyond the formative stage, together they provide a good example of the cutting-edge approaches to regional economic development.

Better Safe than Sorry: Precautionary Reasoning and Implied Dominance in Risky Decisions
Type: ResearchIn four studies, student and nonstudent participants evaluated the possible outcomes of binary decisions involving health, safety, and environmental risks (e.g., whether to issue a dam-failure evacuation order). Many participants indicated that false positives (e.g., evacuation, but no dam failure) were better than true negatives (e.g., no evacuation and no dam failure), thereby implying that an incorrect decision was better than a correct one, and that the more protective action dominated the less protective action. A common rationale for this response pattern was the precautionary maxim "Better safe than sorry". Participants apparently evaluated outcomes partly on the basis of the decisions that might lead to them, in conflict with consequentialist decision models. Consistent with this explanation, the prevalence of implied dominance decreased substantially when the emphasis on decisions was reduced. These results demonstrate that initial preferences for decision alternatives can seriously bias the evaluation of consequences in risky high-stakes decisions.

Bifurcating DNS Thresholds in a Model of Organizational Bridge Building
Type: ResearchA simple optimal control model is introduced, where "bridge building" positions are rewarded. The optimal solutions can be classified in regards of the two extern parameters, (1) costs for the control staying at such an exposed position and (2) the discount rate. A complete analytical description of the bifurcation lines in parameter space is derived, which separates regions with different optimal behavior. These are resisting the influence from inner and outer forces, always fall off from the boundaries or decide based on one’s initial state. This latter case gives rise to the emergence of so-called Dechert-Nishimura-Skiba (DNS) points describing optimal solution strategies. Furthermore the bifurcation from a single DNS point into two DNS points has been analyzed in parameter space. All these strategies have a funded interpretation within the limits of the model.

Brand Image and Brand Dilution in the Fashion Industry
Type: ResearchThis paper develops dynamic optimal control model of a fashion designer's challenge of maintaining brand image in the face of short-term profit opportunities through expanded sales that risk brand dilution in the longer-run. The key state variable is the brand's reputation, and the key decision is sales volume. Depending on the brand's capacity to command higher prices, one of two regimes is observed. If the price mark-ups relative to production costs are modest, then the optimal solution may simply be to exploit whatever value can be derived from the brand in the short-run and retire the brand when that capacity is fully diluted. However, if the price markups are more substantial, then an existing brand should be preserved. It may even be worth incurring short-term losses while increasing the brand's reputation, even if starting a new brand name from scratch is not optimal.

Building Relationships Around Tasks: Psychological Contracts in Faculty-Doctoral Student Collaborations
Type: ResearchPsychological contracts theory is applied to the study of faculty-doctoral student collaborations. Through a survey of 170 doctoral students, four types of psychological contracts are investigated. The quality of collaboration and frequency of meetings are found to differ significantly across these contract types. In addition, quality of collaboration and meeting frequency varied significantly across collaborations using different research methods (e.g, laboratory work, theory building) and disciplinary paradigms (i.e., high and low consensus). A comparison sample of 46 faculty from the same departments supported several trends observed in the doctoral student data.

Can a Spatial Decision Support System Improve Low-Income Service Delivery? Analysis of Tools and Requirements for a Computer-Assisted Mobility Counseling System
Type: ResearchAssisted housing counseling can enable clients to choose affordable housing in opportunity-rich communities. However, the quality of such services may vary widely. In this paper a framework is presented for developing a spatial decision support system (SDSS) for housing mobility counseling and present evidence regarding the capacity of assisted housing clients to make productive use of such a SDSS. It can be concluded that there are significant opportunities for, and social returns to, research on information technology-enabled housing and neighborhood choice.

Can Housing Mobility Programs Make a Long-Term Impact on the Lives of Poor Families and the Health of Middle-Class Communities: A Policy Simulation
Type: ResearchHousing mobility programs enable families living in high-poverty neighborhoods to relocate to lower- poverty neighborhoods using tenant-based subsidies. Recent research indicates that these programs improve participant outcomes on a number of economic and social outcomes. This paper applies policy simulation to a stylized representation of a housing mobility program to give a sense of scale and proportion for what a "full scale" mobility program might entail. Results indicate that this system model reaches steady-state fairly quickly, that rates of concentrated poverty decrease more quickly than those for system-wide poverty, consistent with the notion of a housing mobility program as primarily a tool for poverty deconcentration. Destination communities absorb a substantial number of mobility in- movers without suffering substantial adverse demographic impacts, indicating that the "carrying capacity" of these communities may sufficient to support large-scale mobility initiatives. Middle-class flight per mobility family is moderately high and almost independent of housing mobility program intensity; selected sprawl-related social costs are relatively small. Sensitivity analyses show that the model behaves in predictable ways in response to changes to structural parameters. A "worst-case" scenario of parameter values still generates modest poverty reductions with moderate levels of poverty in destination communities but very high rates of middle-class "flight".

Alliances and contractual relations between players in this market are shifting rapidly. Within the next few years, many markets are predicted to be dominated by a few large firms. Antitrust enforcement authorities like the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission, as well as courts and legislators at both the federal and state levels, are struggling with the implications of these changes for the nature and consequences of competition in health care markets. This paper summarizes the nature of the changes in the structure of the health care industry. This paper focus on the markets for health insurance, hospital services, and physician services. Potential implications of the restructuring of the health care industry for competition, efficiency, and public policy is discussed. As will become apparent, this area offers a number of intriguing questions for inquisitive researchers.

China's Embrace of Globalization
Type: ResearchAs China has become an increasingly important part of the global trading system over the past two decades, interest in the country and its international economic policies has increased among international economists who are not China specialists. This paper represents an attempt to provide the international economics community with a succinct summary of the major steps in the evolution of Chinese policy toward international trade and foreign direct investment and their consequences since the late 1970s. In doing so, we draw upon and update a number of more comprehensive book-length treatments of the subject. It is our hope that this paper will prove to be a useful resource for the growing numbers of international economists who are exploring China-related issues, either in the classroom or in their own research.

Clinical Reminder System: A Relational Database Application for Evidence-Based Medicine Practice
Type: ResearchEvidence-based medicine is the distillation of a large volume of medical research and standards into treatment protocols for diseases and preventive care procedures that represent the most accurate knowledge available. In this project, we implement evidence-based medicine principles via a decision support system that provides suggested actions for physicians based on individual patient characteristics and established treatment protocols. Such a reminder system may enable physicians to make better-quality decisions, and may enable patients more consistently follow medical recommendations. This papers presents a prototype DSS, called Clinical Reminder System, that combines a relational database, a knowledge base consisting of algorithms that implement disease treatment protocols, integration with hospital legacy systems and a web-based interface allowing for physician management of patient data and suggested medical responses. This application has been in use within a clinical setting since 2001. Formal evaluation and assessment of patient outcomes associated with use of this system is currently being performed by Carnegie Mellon University and The Western Pennsylvania Hospital.

Competition Between Internet Search Engines
Type: ResearchThis paper develops a model of vertical differentiation in the Internet search engine market. A key property of the model is that users who try out one engine may be dissatisfied with the results, and consult another engine in the same session. This residual demand allows lower quality engines to survive in the equilibrium. We consider a two-period game between an incumbent and an entrant who enters in the second period. Since users prefer to try out a higher quality engine first, the demand for an engine is discontinuous in quality, depending on whether the engine has high or low quality. We take into account brand loyalty for the incumbent. The interaction of brand loyalty and a cost advantage for the entrant determines which engine has higher quality in equilibrium.

Computer Technology, Human Labor, and Long-Run Economic Growth
Type: ResearchOver the coming century, computer technology is likely to become capable of reproducing many of the skills now performed by human labor. This paper describes three models of the aggregate economic changes that occur when capital becomes capable of performing human work skills. The basic model, with a single sector and homogeneous labor, projects output growth rates over the next few decades that are substantially above historical growth rates in industrialized countries, assuming plausible increases in computer skill. The projected output growth is accompanied by structural changes reflecting the reduced role of labor, with wage growth lagging output growth and the labor share of output decreasing. Resource limits do not substantially affect the levels of output and wage growth in the near future. The 2-type model, with fixed skill differences between different workers, produces similar growth in output and average wages over the next several decades. However, the worker skill differences produce large increases in wage inequality between types of workers. The 2-sector model, with different skill requirements for different economic sectors, also produces similar growth in output and wages over the next several decades. For the three models, asymptotic growth in output and wages is substantially reduced by resource limits, worker skill differences, and sector skill differences, even though those constraints do not substantially reduce growth over the next few decades. The models produce patterns of change in the labor share and capital-output ratio that are consistent with broad trends in economic data.

Consolidation, Insurance Coverage & Tort Reform in Health Care Markets
Type: ResearchContaining health care expenditures and extending health insurance coverage have been the most important health care policy issues in the U.S. Health care expenditures surpassed $2.3 trillion in 2008, more than three times the $714 billion spent in 1990 (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (2010)), while more than one in five adults under age 65 (22%) was uninsured in 2009 (Kaiser Family Foundation (2010)). This dissertation investigates three topics related to either or both of these issues. In the rst chapter1, we analyze how market concentration in health care market affects the price of hospital services, which is an important factor that determines health care expenditures. In the second chapter, I propose a preliminary framework that enables us to explore which policy option extends coverage without imposing too much costs. The third chapter analyzes the effects of state tort reform, which has been considered as an effective mean to contain health care expenditures. The first chapter analyzes the relationship between insurer and hospital market concentration and the prices of hospital services. There has been substantial consolidation among health insurers and hospitals recently, raising questions about the effects of this consolidation on the exercise of market power. We use a national U.S. dataset containing transaction prices for health care services for over eleven million privately insured Americans. Using three years of panel data, we estimate how insurer and hospital market concentration is related to hospital prices, while controlling for unobserved market effects. We find that increases in insurance market concentration are significantly associated with decreases in hospital prices, while increases in hospital concentration are non-significantly associated with increases in prices. A hypothetical merger between two of five equally-sized insurers is estimated to decrease hospital prices by 6.7%. The second chapter employs a simulation approach to develop a model of health insurance coverage and to analyze the effects of the policies to extend health insurance coverage. The model is a microeconomic model of individual decision making with regard to health insurance coverage, health-care consumption, and insurer determination of premiums. I cal- ibrate the parameters of the model by simulated method of moments (SMM), using data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) in 2003. Introduction of a health insurance voucher in the individual health insurance markets is found to reduce the uninsured rate from 20.4% to 16.4%, whereas introducing the voucher in all health insurance markets reduces the rate to 9.2%. The change in social welfare is almost negligible under the former policy, whereas social welfare decreases by 5.9% under the latter. Mandating CDHP-type high-deductible plans decreases the rate of the uninsured to 13.2%, and social welfare in- creases by 21.4%. This study proposes a preliminary framework for the evaluation of policies for the uninsured. The third chapter analyzes the effects of one of tort reforms, caps on non-economic dam- ages, on the utilization and health outcomes among mothers and premature newborns, using hospital discharge data from year 2001 to 2007. Preliminary findings are as follows. Implementation of caps on non-economic damages is associated with 2:8% decrease in length of stay and 11:5% decrease in the usage of mechanical ventilation among premature newborns, and the caps are associated with 0:6 1:2% decrease in length of stay among mothers. There is no significant association between the implementation of the cap and the mortality of pre- mature newborns. By analyzing the effects of caps on the usage of specific procedures, this chapter contributes to the understanding of how physicians practice \defensive medicine" in obstetric and neonatal care.

Consumer Surplus in the Digital Economy: Estimating the Value of Increased Product Variety
Type: ResearchThis paper presents a framework and empirical estimates that quantify the economic impact of increased product variety made available through electronic markets. Recent research has focused on the effect of increased competition on Internet market efficiency. While these efficiency gains significantly enhance consumer welfare, for instance by leading to lower average selling prices, our present research shows that increased product variety made available through electronic markets can be a significantly larger source of consumer welfare gains. One reason for increased product variety on the Internet is the ability of online retailers to stock, display, and sell a large number of products. There may also be large welfare gains in other SKU-intensive consumer goods such as music, movies, consumer electronics, and computer software and hardware.

Converting Pirates without Cannibalizing Purchasers: The Impact of Digital Distribution on Physical Sales and Internet Piracy
Type: ResearchWith the rise of Napster, BitTorrent, and other tools facilitating Internet piracy, rights holders have understandably become very concerned with the development of strategies to mitigate the impact of piracy on sales. These tools fall into three general categories: litigation, countermeasures, and competition. The literature has addressed the effectiveness of the first two anti-piracy strategies. In this paper we address the third strategy using NBC’s decision to remove its content from Apple’s iTunes store in December 2007 as a natural shock to the legitimate supply of digital content. To address this question we collect two large datasets from Mininova and Amazon.com documenting the levels of piracy and DVD sales for both NBC and other major networks’ content around this event. We then analyze this data in a difference-in-difference model and find that NBC’s decision to remove its content from iTunes is causally associated with a 19.99% increase in the demand for NBC's pirated content. This is roughly equivalent to an increase of 92,612 downloads a day for NBC’s content. Moreover, we see no change in demand for NBC’s DVD content associated with this change.

Corporate Restructuring and R&D: A Panel Data Analysis for the Chemical Industry
Type: ResearchThis paper contributes a novel approach to the existing literature on the effects of restructuring on R&D investment by focussing on a single industry, chemicals. The chemical industry is very research intensive and has experienced thorough restructuring since the early 1980s. By focussing on a single industry we are able to identify the technological and R&D features of its segments. This is important, since there is evidence that restructuring affects R&D differently in businesses with different technological features. However, no study so far has provided a systematic inquiry into this link. Using a panel of 535 European, American, and Japanese firms for the years 1987-1997 we find restructuring to be an important component in the observed changes in R&D intensity. This paper shows that restructuring affects R&D both through changes in size and through changes in the composition of business portfolios, and that these effects differ across industry segments.

Cycles of Violence: A Dynamic Control Model
Type: ResearchThis paper introduce and analyze a simple model of cycle of violence in which oscillations are generated when surges in lethal violence shrink the pool of active violent offenders. Models with such endogenously induced variation may help explain why historically observed trends in violence are generally not well correlated with exogenous forcing functions, such as changes in the state of the economy. The analysis includes finding the optimal dynamic trajectory of incarceration and violence prevention inteverventions. Those trajectories yield some surprising results, including situations in which myopic decision makers will invest more in prevention than will far-sighted decision makers.

Decision Models for Affordable Housing and Sustainable Community Development
Type: ResearchResearchers in urban housing and community development face significant challenges in evaluating the success of efforts to improve urban neighborhoods, and identifying underlying theories that might predict the success of future initiatives. Practitioners in this field confront political considerations, restrictive administrative guidelines and limited funding. In the face of these challenges, prescriptive decision models have the potential to improve policy responses to challenges such as affordable housing, race and class segregation, ineffective and/or inequitable economic development, and urban sprawl. This paper first reviews previous research in these areas across multiple disciplines and identify important limitations and modeling opportunities. It then describes recent work on tools and methods to assist policymakers to design effective and sustainable housing and community development strategies. These strategies are based on explicit values of maximization of social welfare and social equity and use best-available evidence regarding impacts of housing and community development policies on program participants and non-participants. The discussion is animated by a case study of a hypothetical affordable housing policy initiative for a diverse metropolitan area that we analyze from three perspectives. The first is a long-term and national perspective in which stylized policy models provide insight into large-scale implementation of this program. The second perspective is the medium- term and regional, in which detailed planning models and decision support systems provide specific guidance to housing providers. The third perspective is the short-term and local, in which decision support systems assist individuals’ choice of specific alternatives as defined by housing initiatives. These complementary modeling perspectives are shown to provide technical and policy insights that differ significantly from, and improve on, those associated with conventional methods.  

Decision Support Technology for Public Safety Resource Allocation: Location of Fire Stations in a Fiscally Constrained Environment
Type: ResearchThe City of Pittsburgh is facing a severe financial crisis and seeks strategies to reduce expenditures while maintaining an acceptable quality of services. Currently the Bureau of Fire accounts for nearly twenty percent of the City’s expenses, and evidence from cities of similar size to Pittsburgh suggests that fire service expenditures may be one source of fiscal economies. This report represents the culmination of efforts to design and implement an information system to aid City decision makers in designing policy alternatives for fire services design. This decision support methodology generates service characteristics for existing and proposed station configurations of Bureau of Fire services in the City of Pittsburgh. Additionally, this methodology develops alternative station configurations that optimize stated goals of the decision makers.

Decline in Violent Crime Rate Stumps Criminologists, Heinz College's Blumstein Speculates About "Obama Effect"
Type: News | Release Date: 6/7/2011
The FBI recently released year-over-year changes in the level of violent crimes in the United States, and the details are surprising to many. The report highlights an impressive 5.5 percent drop in the number of violent crimes in 2010. It also announces a 2.8 percent decline in property crimes such as theft and burglary. Both of these declines follow an impressive drop that occurred in 2009, creating a two-year trend that contradicts the general consensus that crime rates rise during times of economic distress.

Determinants of Information Technology Outsourcing Among Health Maintenance Organizations
Type: ResearchThis paper extends transaction cost economics by examining the effect of relaxing two of its underlying assumptions. First, transaction cost economics relies on an assumption of risk neutrality. This paper argues that organizations transactions vary in the risk they impose on an organization and that organizations are more likely to embed riskier transactions within a hierarchy. Second, transaction cost economics assumes that transactions are independently organized. Organizations have an underlying propensity to organize transactions through hierarchy or contracting and that this underlying propensity is related to an organization’s capabilities, such as absorptive capacity. The analysis shows that transaction organization is a function of transaction risk. Transaction risk, rather than uncertainty or firm asset specificity, is the most important factor determining transaction organization. And, the analysis shows that transaction organization is a function of an organization’s absorptive capacity and technological diversity. This means that transactions within an organization are interdependent.

Digital Demand: Demand for Digital Cameras on eBay
Type: ResearchThe paper estimates the demand for new digital cameras sold in eBay auctions. EBay data seems to offer significant advantages over traditional transactions data for estimating demand for differentiated products. However, there are a number of concerns including censoring bias and the interpretation of the bidding behavior. This paper discusses these problems as well as possible solutions. The paper presents results from three different methods for estimating demand for differentiated products on eBay. The results suggest that the demand for digital cameras is highly elastic and there isn’t a lot of substitution, particularly across brands.

Disclosure Risk vs. Data Utility through the R-U Confidentiality Map in Multivariate Settings
Type: ResearchInformation organizations, such as statistical agencies, must ensure that data access does not compromise the confidentiality afforded data providers, whether individuals or establishments. Recognizing that deidentification of data is generally inadequate to protect confidentiality against attack by a data snooper, information organizations (IOs)—such as statistical agencies, data archives, and trade associations—can implement a variety of disclosure limitation (DL) techniques—such as topcoding, noise addition and data swapping—in developing data products. Desirably, the resulting restricted data have both high data utility U to data users and low disclosure risk R from data snoopers. IOs lack a framework for examining tradeoffs between R and U under a specific DL procedure. They also lack systematic ways of comparing the performance of distinct DL procedures. To provide this framework and facilitate comparisons, the R-U confidentiality map is introduced to trace the joint impact on R and U to changes in the parameters of a DL procedure. Implementation of an R-U confidentiality map is illustrated in the case of multivariate noise addition. Analysis is provided for two important multivariate estimation problems: a data user seeks to estimate linear combinations of means and to estimate regression coefficients.

Disclosure Risk vs. Data Utility: The R-U Confidentiality Map
Type: ResearchRecognizing that deidentification of data is generally inadequate to protect their confidentiality against attack by a data snooper, information organizations (IOs) can apply a variety of disclosure limitation (DL) techniques, such as topcoding, noise addition and data swapping. Desirably, the resulting restricted data have both high data utility U to data users and low disclosure risk R from data snoopers. IOs lack a coherent framework for examining tradeoffs between R and U for a specific DL procedure. They also lack systematic ways of comparing the performance of distinct DL procedures. To provide this framework and facilitate comparisons, the R-U confidentiality map is introduced to trace the joint impact on R and U of changes in the parameters of a DL procedure. Implementation of an R-U confidentiality map is illustrated in real multivariate data cases for two DL techniques: topcoding and multivariate noise addition. Topcoding is examined for a Cobb-Douglas regression model, as fit to restricted data from the New York City Housing and Vacancy Survey. Multivariate additive noise is examined under various scenarios of attack, predicated on different knowledge states for a data snooper, and for different goals of a data analyst. We illustrate how simulation methods can be used to implement an empirical R-U confidentiality map, which is suitable for analytically intractable specifications of R, U and the disclosure limitation method. Application is made to the Schools and Staffing Survey, which is conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics.

Distinguishing Between Effects of Criminality and Drug Use on Violent Offending
Type: ResearchThe alarming increase in lethal violence among young people in the U.S.-which is often attributed to drug use and drug trafficking-has prompted re-examination of the relationship between drugs and violent offending. While no national data exist, numerous local studies find a high prevalence of homicide deaths among identified drug addicts, a high prevalence of substance use-typically alcohol-among victims of homicide, and a high proportion of persons testing positive for drug use among arrestees for violent offenses. Other studies report large increases in drug-related homicides or other violence associated with drug distribution. In a departure from previous research that contrasts users and nonusers of drugs, or compares broad periods of heavy and light drug use during long addiction careers, the present study attempts to isolate more direct effects of drug use near the time of offending. The data are for a sample of adults arrested in Washington, DC from July 1, 1985 to June 30, 1986, and include their longitudinal arrest histories along with the results of urine drug screens administered following arrest.

Distortion of Outcome and Probability Information in Risky Decisions
Type: ResearchSubstantial evidence indicates that information is distorted during decision making. However, no studies have assessed the distortion of outcome and probability information in risky decisions or the effects of ambiguity on information distortion. This paper reports two studies involving six binary decisions (e.g., banning blood donations from people who have visited England, because of "mad cow disease"). In Study 1, participants distorted their evaluations of outcome and probability information in the direction of their preferred decision alternative and used these biased evaluations to update their preferences. Participants also evaluated the utilities of possible outcomes more positively when the outcomes could follow only from the preferred alternative and more negatively when they could follow only from the competing alternative. In Study 2, we manipulated ambiguity by describing outcomes and probabilities using either point estimates or ranges of values. Results replicated those of Study 1, with no effects of ambiguity on information distortion.

Division of Labor and the Transmission of Growth
Type: ResearchThis paper studies how an independent upstream capital good sector in a technology based industry can act as a mechanism for the transmission of growth across countries. Technologies, once developed, can be ‘transferred’ to other countries at low incremental cost. If there are upstream firms which specialize in providing technology and engineering services to downstream buyer firms, then the greater the number of such specialists, the greater the net surplus that buyers get. Since the number of specialists is determined by the size of the downstream sector, the growth of the downstream sector in leading countries (first world) has beneficial effects for the growth of the downstream sector in follower countries (less developed countries). We empirically test this proposition using a comprehensive data set of investments in chemical plants in the developing countries during the 1980s. We find that one additional specialized supplier in a given process technology would have increased the expected investment in LDCs by $100 million to $200 million, with the increases greater in more mature technologies, and for larger LDCs.

Do Spreadsheet Errors Lead to Bad Decisions: Perspectives of Executives and Senior Managers
Type: ResearchSpreadsheets are commonly used and commonly flawed, but it is not clear how often spreadsheet errors lead to bad decisions. We interviewed 45 executives and senior managers / analysts in the private, public, and non-profit sectors about their experiences with spreadsheet quality control and with errors affecting decision making. Almost all said spreadsheet errors are common. Quality control was usually informal and applied to the analysis and/or decision, not just the spreadsheet per se. Most respondents could cite instances of errors directly leading to bad decisions, but opinions differ as to whether the consequences of spreadsheet errors are severe. Some thought any big errors would be so obvious as to be caught by even informal review. Others suggest that spreadsheets inform but do not make decisions, so errors do not necessarily lead one for one to bad decisions. Still, many respondents believed spreadsheet errors were a significant problem and that more formal spreadsheet quality control could be beneficial.

Does in-house R&D increase bargaining power? Evidence from the pharmaceutical industry
Type: ResearchAccording to Gans & Stern (1999), firms engage in R&D spending, in part, in order to improve their bargaining position as buyers in the market for technology. This theory is tested empirically with data from the pharmaceutical industry. We develop and estimate a structural model of R&D spending and licensing. We find that R&D spending does improve the bargaining position of licensees; although, the effect is small. In the absence of the bargaining power effect, spending on R&D would be about 6% lower than it is. We also find that entry of technology licensors reduces firms’ own R&D but has a positive overall effect on innovation.

Does Part-time Work during High School Affect Academic Outcomes?
Type: ResearchA majority of American teenagers work during high school, constituting a large time commitment that pulls teens’ attention away from family, friends, school, and community ties. The issue of whether the possible costs to the other parts of teens’ lives outweigh the benefits from working has attracted extensive research, but no consensus exists about the relationship of part-time work on academic outcomes. This study uses the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) from 1997 to examine the impact of working part-time on high school dropout rates and grade point average at age 17. After age 16, federal legislation no longer limits the hours or duties of child labor. However, child labor legislation across different states limits the number of hours that teenagers are allowed to work. By exploiting this variation, the study examines whether a teen’s hours of work during the age 16 school year has a statistically significant relationship to his or her performance at school. Average hours of work did not have a statistically significant relationship with academic outcomes when using instrumental variables compared to statistically significant results when using ordinary least squares (OLS).

Does the Profit Motive Make Jack Nimble? Ownership Form and the Evolution of the U.S. Hospital Industry
Type: ResearchThis paper examines the evolving structure of the U.S. hospital industry since 1970, focusing on how ownership form influences entry and exit behavior. We develop theoretical predictions based on the model of Lakdawalla and Philipson, in which for-profit and not-for-profit hospitals differ regarding their objectives and costs of capital. The model predicts for-profits would be quicker to enter and exit than not-for-profits in response to changing market conditions. We test this hypothesis using data for all U.S. hospitals from 1984 through 2000. Examining annual and regional entry and exit rates, for-profit hospitals consistently have higher entry and exit rates than not-for-profits. Econometric modeling of entry and exit rates yields similar patterns. Estimates of an ordered probit model of entry indicate that entry is more responsive to demand changes for for-profit than not-for-profit hospitals. Estimates of a discrete hazard model for exit similarly indicate that negative demand shifts increase the probability of exit more for for-profits than not-for-profits. Finally, membership in a hospital chain significantly decreases the probability of exit for for-profits, but not not-for-profits.

Policy analysis in turn is an interdisciplinary field that strives to objectively and empirically understand the consequences of different public policy interventions, including both retrospective evaluation of past interventions and prospective projections of contemplated interventions. It is useful to distinguish three types of policy analysis: 1)Analysis of net effects on society as a whole (a "social planner’s perspective"), 2)Distributive analysis of effects on each significant group of stakeholders, and 3)Political analysis of what convergence of forces can push through a piece of legislation or other policy change.

Drug Policy: Insights from Mathematical Analysis
Type: ResearchIllicit drug use is clearly an important health problem. There are some 600,000 emergency department episodes in the US every year that are related to illicit drugs (SAMHSA, 2002a). National mortality estimates are not available, but there are probably on the order of 20,000 drug-induced deaths a year (SAMHSA, 2002b), with many more indirectly related to drug use. Some 5 million Americans are in need of drug treatment, and less than 40% get it (Epstein and Gfroerer, 1998; Woodward et al., 1997). Injection drug use is a leading cause of the spread of infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C (CDCP, 2001). The social costs of illicit drug use approach those of alcohol and tobacco (Rice et al., 1990; Bartlett et al., 1994; Harwood et al., 1998). No one has estimated how many quality adjusted life years are lost due to illicit drug use, but the number is no doubt substantial, particularly since those who die from illicit drug use are younger than those who die from most other causes. Not surprisingly there is an energetic debate concerning how best to control drug use and related consequences, to which Operations Research/Management Science has made important contributions. Nevertheless, drug policy is unlike other health policy domains in important ways, and this article begins with a review of some important differences. The following sections then highlight key insights quantitative models have generated concerning the relative effectiveness of different interventions, including how that effectiveness varies over the course of a drug epidemic.

Economic and Statistical Models for Affordable Housing Policy Design
Type: ResearchPrescriptive planning models for affordable and subsidized housing policy design that have a local focus and which are intended to reflect aspects of current and/or best practices require detailed estimates of various structural parameters. These estimates should ideally reflect observations of actual housing units, households and development projects. We examine here three classes of structural parameters: dollar-valued benefits and costs of affordable/subsidized housing provision, correlates of measures of housing market strength, and locational outcomes of households participating in housing mobility programs. Current results for dollar-valued housing impacts—provision costs, household benefits and subsidy levels—are based on detailed administrative data from a local housing provider and generate promising forecasting models for use in regional-level planning models. Results for the remaining two classes of structural parameters are currently under development.

Effect of Information Revelation Policies under Cost uncertainty
Type: ResearchElectronic reverse-markets such as those hosted by Freemarkets involve geographically dispersed sellers. By the very nature of the market, sellers in any given market-session are uncertain both about the number of opponents they face and their cost-structure. Over the course of several market sessions, sellers can learn about the competitive structure of the market. Their ability to learn i.e., their ability to reduce the level of uncertainty is dependent on the revelation policy adopted. The extent to which competitive information is revealed under each revelation policy determines what sellers learn, how they bid in future and thus, the consumer surplus generated. This paper compares a set of revelation policies commonly used in electronic reverse marketplaces, using consumer surplus as our metric. Game-theoretic models are employed to focus on the effect of revelation policies when firms are uncertain about their opponent’s cost. Based on the analysis, this paper provide intuitions as to why under certain conditions, one setting is better than the other.

Empirical Calibration of Time Series Monitoring Methods Using Receiver Operating Characteristic Curves
Type: ResearchTime series monitoring methods, such as the Brown and Trigg methods, have the purpose of detecting pattern breaks in time series data reliably and in a timely fashion. Traditionally, researchers have used the average run length statistic (ARL) on results from generated signal occurrences in simulated time series data to calibrate and evaluate these methods, with a focus on timeliness of signal detection. This paper investigates the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) framework, well-known in the diagnostic decision making literature, as an alternative to ARL analysis for time series monitoring methods. ROC analysis traditionally uses real data to address the inherent tradeoff in signal detection between the true and false positive rates when varying control limits. We illustrate ROC analysis using time series data on crime at the patrol district level in two cities and use the concept of Pareto frontier ROC curves and reverse functions for methods such as Brown's and Trigg's that have parameters affecting signal-detection performance. We compare the Brown and Trigg methods to three benchmark methods, including one commonly used in practice. The Brown and Trigg methods collapse to the same simple method on the Pareto frontier and dominate the benchmark methods under most conditions. The worst method is the one commonly used in practice.

Enhancing Aviation Security with The SWIFT System (Short Wait Integrated Flight Travel)
Type: ResearchThe SWIFT (Short-Wait Integrated Flight Travel) System represents an initiative by Carnegie Mellon University’s H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management to design an airport security system that is both more secure and more efficient. With SWIFT, travelers who volunteer to submit to a security clearance by TSA and pass will receive a “smart card” containing personal and biometric information. SWIFT enrollees will be able to go through a security screening comparable to that which was used prior to September 11, 2001. By screening SWIFT enrollees prior to their arrival at an airport, TSA can focus its resources on more thorough screening of not-cleared individuals. Our research focused on estimating the demand for SWIFT enrollment, design of a reasonable system that included biometric screening of all those carrying a SWIFT card, review of current technological opportunities for screening SWIFT passengers, initial design of a national SWIFT network, identifying processing enhancements of the current system, analyzing costs and benefits of the various improvements through the use of simulation modeling, and designing an initial test implementation of the SWIFT System at the Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT). The results of this research hold promise for creating an airport security system that is markedly more secure and more efficient than the current one.

Enter at your own risk: HMO participation and enrollment in the Medicare risk Market
Type: ResearchThis paper examines HMO participation and enrollment in the Medicare risk market for the years 1990 to 1995. A profit-maximization model of HMO behavior is developed, which explicitly considers potential linkages between an HMO’s production decision in the commercial enrollee market and its participation and production decisions in the Medicare risk market. The results suggest that the AAPCC is a primary determinant of HMO participation, while the price of a supplemental Medicare insurance policy positively affects HMO Medicare enrollment. This paper also finds empirical support for the existence of complementarities in the joint production of an HMO’s commercial and Medicare products.

Enterprise Zones and Local Employment: Evidence From the States' Programs
Type: ResearchMany states respond to deteriorating economic conditions in their inner cities and rural communities by establishing geographically targeted tax incentives. This paper examines the impact of several of these Enterprise Zone (EZ) programs on local employment. The results show that the EZ programs do not have a significant impact on local employment. Program impact does not depend on the monetary amount of the incentives and or on specific features of program design. These conclusions are constant across two econometric approaches to controlling for the non-random placement of zones and stand up to a wide variety of sensitivity analyses.

Entry and Competition in Local Hospital Markets
Type: ResearchThere has been considerable consolidation in the hospital industry in recent years. Over 900 deals occurred from 1994-2000, and many local markets, even in large urban areas, have been reduced to monopolies, duopolies, or triopolies. This surge in consolidation has led to concern about competition in local markets for hospital services. We examine the effect of market structure on competition in local hospital markets - specifically, does the hardness of competition increase with the number of firms? We extend the entry model developed by Bresnahan and Reiss to make use of quantity information, and apply it to data on the U.S. hospital industry. In the hospital markets we examine, entry leads to a quick convergence to competitive conduct. Entry reduces variable profits and increases quantity. Most of the effects of entry come from having a second and a third firm enter the market. The fourth entrant has little estimated effect. The use of quantity information allows us to infer that entry is consumer-surplus-increasing.

Estimating App Demand from Publicly Available Data
Type: ResearchWith the abundance in variety of products available online, many online retailers provide sales rankings for available products to make it easier for the consumer to find popular products. Successful implementation of product rankings on online platform was done a decade ago by Amazon and more recently by Apple’s App store. However, none of these market providers provide actual downloads data, a very useful statistics for both practitioners and researchers. To address similar issues, researchers in the past developed strategies to estimate sales from product rank. Almost all of that work is based on either doing some experiments to shift sales or partnering with a vendor to get actual sales data. In this research, we present an innovative method to use purely public data to infer this relationship for Apple’s iTunes App store. We provide various validations to show our method provides highly accurate estimates on downloads if rank data in available for a given app.

Estimating the Relative Efficiency of Various Forms of Prevention at Different Stages of a Drug Epidemic
Type: ResearchDrug use and problems change dramatically over time in ways that are often described as reflecting an "epidemic cycle". We use simulation of a model of drug epidemics to investigate how the relative effectiveness of different types of prevention varies over the course of such an epidemic. Specifically we use the so-called LHY model (see Behrens et al., 2000b) which includes both "contagious" spread of initiation (a positive feedback) and memory of past use (a negative feedback), which dampens initiation and, hence, future use. The analysis confirms the common sense intuition that prevention is more highly leveraged early in an epidemic, although the extent to which this is true in this model is striking, particularly for campaigns designed to leverage awareness of the drug’s dangers. The findings also suggest that the design of "secondary" prevention programs should change over the course of an epidemic.

Estimation of Crime Seasonality: A Cross-Sectional Extension to Time Series Classical Decomposition
Type: ResearchReliable estimates of crime seasonality are valuable for law enforcement and crime prevention. Seasonality affects many police decisions from long-term reallocation of uniformed officers across precincts to short-term targeting of patrols for hot spots and serial criminals. This paper shows that crime seasonality is a small-scale, neighborhood-level phenomenon. In contrast, the vast literature on crime seasonality has almost exclusively examined crime data aggregations at the city or even larger scales. Spatial heterogeneity of crime seasonality, however, often gives rise to opposing seasonal patterns in different kinds of neighborhoods, canceling out seasonality at the city-wide level. Thus past estimates of crime seasonality have vastly underestimated the magnitude and impact of the phenomenon. This paper presents a model for crime seasonality that extends classical decomposition of time series based on a multivariate, cross-sectional, fixed-effects model. The crux of the model is an interaction of monthly seasonal dummy variables with five factor scores representing the urban ecology as viewed from the perspective of major crime theories. The urban ecology factors, interacted with monthly seasonal dummy variables, provide neighborhood-level seasonality estimates. A polynomial in time and fixed effects dummy variables for spatial units control for large temporal and spatial variations in crime data. Our results require crime mapping for implementation by police including thematic mapping of next month's forecasted crime levels (which are dominated by seasonal variations) by grid cell or neighborhood, thematic mapping of the urban ecology for developing an understanding of underlying causes of crime, and ability to zoom into neighborhoods to study recent crime points.

Evaluating a Deliberative Method for Ranking Environmental Risks in China
Type: ResearchPrevious research at Carnegie Mellon University introduced a systematic method for public participation in risk ranking. The method has been tested successfully with participants from the United States using school risks and environmental risks. To explore the viability of the method in another cultural setting, it was tested with Chinese participants, because previous research has shown that Americans and Chinese differ substantially along many dimensions of cognition and social organization relevant to decision making. Using 10 environmental hazards based on current environmental regulatory programs in a Chinese city as the risk domain, 5 groups of 8-9 participants ranked the hazards using both holistic and multiattribute approaches. Resulting judgment patterns for the Chinese participants were consistent with those observed in previous studies with Americans, providing additional evidence for the robustness of the method. Risk rankings from the holistic and multiattribute approaches were reasonably consistent, both for individuals and for groups. Explicit and implicit measures indicated that participants were satisfied with the procedures and resulting rankings. Results for Chinese participants were compared with previous results for Americans to look for cultural effects involving risk perception, deference to technical expertise and quantitative analysis, deference to senior group members, adherence to groups’ rankings because of collectivism, and skepticism toward public participation in policy making. Although there were some hints of cultural differences, no cultural effect had a substantial effect on measures of the method’s validity or replicability. Because the Carnegie Mellon method offers a scientifically sound and measured approach to legitimate public involvement, it may be attractive to Chinese leaders as they respond to growing demand for public participation in risk-management policy.

Explaining Fashion Cycles: Imitators Chasing Innovators in Product Space
Type: ResearchThis paper considers the problem of a fashion trend-setter confronting an imitator who can produce the same product at lower cost. A one- dimensional product space is considered, which is an abstraction of the key attribute of some consumer good. Three broad strategies can be optimal for the fashion-leader: (1) Never innovate; milk profits from the initially advantageous position but ulti- mately concede the market without a fight. (2) Innovate once but only once, which just temporarily defers conceding the market. (3) Cycle in- finitely around product space, never letting the imitator catch up and capture the market. Sometimes the cycles start immediately; sometimes the innovator should wait for a time before beginning the cycles. The optimal solution exhibits strong state-dependency, with so-called Skiba curves separating regions in state space where various of these strategies are optimal. There are even instances of intersecting Skiba curves. In most cases, analytical expressions can be stated that characterize these Skiba curves.

Exploring Differences in Estimates of Visits to Emergency Rooms for Injuries from Assaults Using the NCVS and NHAMCS
Type: ResearchResearchers seeking to provide a better understanding of crime statistics tend to compare survey-based statistics such as the NCVS with data from police administrative series like the UCR. Because these two types of data collections systems are so different, simple direct comparisons are of little value regarding limitations inherent to a particular data collection system. This chapter explores the NCVS data using a different perspective that compares data from the national crime survey of population with those from a national survey of establishments-the National Hospital Ambulatory Care Survey (NHAMCS). This comparison provides an understanding of how the design, instrumentation and procedures of the NCVS may influence estimates of interpersonal violence, particularly that component of violence resulting in injuries treated in hospital emergency rooms. The estimates of emergency room visits for injuries due to violence obtained from the NCVS are considerably smaller than those from the NHAMCS. The analyses include a series of adjustments to these estimates that explore the role of features specific to each survey in the observed differences. The household sampling frame employed in the NCVS receives special attention as a potential source of the observed differences. Investigating this source of divergence is particularly important, since many of our major social indicators on the economy and participation in government programs depend upon household surveys. If some population groups are under-represented in the household sampling frame used in Census surveys, and this under-coverage results in underestimates of violence, this finding could have implications for the use of the household frame to estimate the magnitude of other problems that disproportionately affect marginal populations, such as unemployment, poverty, drug abuse and poor health status. The first section of this paper describes the two surveys, but principally the NHAMCS, since the NCVS is described extensively in Chapter 2. The second section presents the unadjusted estimates of the rate of emergency room visits due to violent crime from the two surveys. The third section outlines a series of potential explanations for the observed rate differences and the last section includes a series of adjustments to the rates designed to test the plausibility of the various explanations.

Firm Size and Capabilities; Regional Agglomeration and the Adoption of New Technology
Type: ResearchThe literature on agglomeration economies suggests that, in addition to firmspecific attributes, the local geographic context conditions the expected profitability of technology adoption. All theories of technology diffusion assume that inter-firm learning is the outcome of contact with prior adopters. Yet, with few exceptions, the attributes of location that maximize the opportunities for learning (and hence, reduce the costs of technology adoption for all firms in the same locale) have been given only cursory treatment. This paper develops and tests a model in which both firm-specific capabilities and place-specific external economies affect the firm’s decision to adopt a new technology. The data come from two national surveys conducted in 1987 and 1991. Because there is available information on two different time periods, it is possible to specify firm and place-specific conditions that precede the technology adoption decision. It is found that localization (as measured by regional clustering of enterprises in related industries) and urbanization (as measured by the diversity of industries, and by the concentration of degree granting engineering institutions) provide knowledge spillovers that facilitate the adoption of new technology by local establishments. Moreover, the impact of urbanization economies is size-related: The impact of a diverse region on adoption is even greater for small enterprises than for large ones.

Flexible Affordable Housing Policy Design using Facility Location Models
Type: ResearchAffordable and subsidized housing providers must design and implement housing strategies: where, when and with what types of housing to best meet the needs of low- and moderate-income households for affordable/low-cost permanent shelter. Recent research has proposed a multiobjective integer programming model for this purpose that jointly optimizes measures of net social benefit and equity and addresses limited variations in housing characteristics. This paper extends the affordable housing planning model to better reflect current research and practice in affordable housing and better meet the needs of affordable housing providers.

Forecast Accuracy Measures - Gorr
Type: File | Last Modified: 2/17/2010

Forecast Accuracy Measures for Exception Reporting Using Receiver Operating Characteristic Curves
Type: ResearchThis paper identifies forecasts of exceptions in product or service demand (i.e., large changes or extreme values) as a special need in forecasting, requiring new forecast accuracy measures based on the tails of sampled forecast error distributions. For this purpose, the paper introduces application of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) framework, which has been used to assess exceptional behavior or cases in many fields. The "exception principle" of management reporting provides the corresponding forecast requirements. Seasonality estimates in univariate forecast models and leading independent variables in multivariate forecast models are among the approaches to forecasting exceptions. In a case study on serious violent crime in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania across small sub-areas of the city, the simplest, nonnaïve univariate forecast method is best for forecasting ordinary conditions, as found in previous research using conventional forecast accuracy measures, but the most complex multivariate model is best for forecasting exceptional conditions, using ROC forecast accuracy measures.

Forecasting Analogous Time Series
Type: ResearchOrganizations that use time series forecasting on a regular basis generally forecast many variables, such as demand for many products or services. Within the population of variables forecasted by an organization, we can expect that there will be groups of analogous time series that follow similar, time-based patterns. The co-variation of analogous time series is a largely untapped source of information that can improve forecast accuracy (and explainability). This paper takes the Bayesian pooling approach to drawing information from analogous time series to model and forecast a given time series. Bayesian pooling uses data from analogous time series as multiple observations per time period in a group-level model. It then combines estimated parameters of the group model with conventional time series model parameters, using "shrinkage" weights estimated empirically from the data. Major benefits of this approach are that it 1) minimizes the number of parameters to be estimated (many other pooling approaches suffer from too many parameters to estimate), 2) builds on conventional time series models already familiar to forecasters, and 3) combines time series and cross-sectional perspectives in flexible and effective ways.  

Forecasting Crime
Type: ResearchOrganizations in the private sector must do strategic planning over long-term horizons to locate new facilities, plan new products, develop competitive advantages, and so forth. Consequently, long-term forecasts of demand, costs of raw materials, etc. are important in the private sector. There is no such strategic counterpart to police work; consequently, long-term forecasts are of little value to police. Police primarily need short-term forecasts; for example, crime levels one week or one month ahead. Currently, police mostly respond to new crime patterns as they occur. Client-server computing for realtime access to police records and computerized crime mapping have made it possible for police to keep abreast with crime. With short-term forecasting police may be able to get one step ahead of criminals by anticipating and preventing crime. The organization of this paper proceeds first with a description of short-term forecasting models, to provide basic terms and concepts. Next is a discussion of unique features of crime space-time series data, and the need for data pooling to handle small-area model estimation problems. Lastly are a discussion of particular forecasting requirements of police and a summary.

Framework for Validating Geographic Profiling
Type: ResearchThis short paper was prepared for the NIJ Roundtable for Developing an Evaluation Methodology for Geographic Profiling Software (August 10 and 11, 2004) on approaches for validating geographic profiling (GP) methods. The paper presents a framework for validating any GP method or software package using solved serial crimes including data on crime locations and criminal residences or other anchor points (e.g., work location, girl friend’s residence, etc.). Findings from the literature and through analysis include: 1) the appropriate performance measure for GP (that matches policing needs and as extended in this paper) concerns prioritizing relevant areas for investigation; 2) future work should correct the performance measure of GP by excluding irrelevant areas from consideration such as rivers, lakes, cemeteries, etc. (past studies apparently did not do this); 3) additional model parameters may be able to be estimated in empirical studies such as the amount to expand the search area for a serial criminal beyond the minimum rectangle or other boundary enclosing crime sites; and 4) future validation studies for GP should compare alternative models, including simple models for benchmarking, and use holdout samples in a resampling scheme for validating performance.

Frictionless Commerce? A Comparison of Internet and Conventional Retailers
Type: ResearchThere have been many claims that the Internet represents a new nearly "frictionless market." Our research empirically analyzes the characteristics of the Internet as a channel for two categories of homogeneous products-books and CDs. Using a data set of over 8,500 price observations collected over a period of 15 months, we compare pricing behavior at 41 Internet and conventional retail outlets. It is found that prices on the Internet are 9-16% lower than prices in conventional outlets, depending on whether taxes, shipping, and shopping costs are included in the price. Additionally, it is found that that Internet retailers’ price adjustments over time are up to 100 times smaller than conventional retailers’ price adjustments-presumably reflecting lower menu costs in Internet channels. Also found that that levels of price dispersion depend importantly on the measures employed. When comparing the prices posted by different Internet retailers, substantial dispersion is found. Internet retailer prices differ by an average of 33% for books and 25% for CDs. However, when these prices are weighed by proxies for market share, it is found that dispersion is lower in Internet channels than in conventional channels, reflecting the dominance of certain heavily branded retailers.

Fundamental Patent Reform and the Private Returns to R&D - The Case of Indian Pharmaceuticals
Type: ResearchHow do private returns to inventive activity change when IPR regimes are substantially strengthened? This paper investigates this question by looking at the impact of patent reforms in India on India-based pharmaceutical companies. In a fundamental policy shift, India agreed to introduce product patents for pharmaceuticals when it signed the WTO TRIPS treaty in 1995. This policy came into effect through an enabling legislation in 2000 and a final implementation in 2005. The dataset is a panel of 315 pharmaceutical firms from 1990 to 2005. Private returns of a firm are measured using a hedonic stock market valuation of the tangible total assets (A) and intangible inventive assets (K). The intangible assets are measured by stocks of R & D expenditure at various literature specified depreciation rates. We normalize our intangibles with total assets, while using controls like firm sales and aggregate industry dummies in our estimations. The analysis covers stratified industry subsets and watershed periods to capture effects of regime changes. The method of estimation involves pooled OLS regressions with time dummies and fixed effects to account for firm-specific unobserved heterogeneity. We also use non-linear least squares with first differences as a robustness check for our results. The findings reveal a monotonic increase in private returns to inventive activity, with returns peaking around 2005, the year in which product patents were introduced in India. An increase in depreciation rates of R & D implying higher obsolescence of R & D activities results in increasing returns to R & D for various subsets of the industry. This provides early evidence of the markets positively valuing more recent R & D activities as firms shift their research capabilities with changes in the patent regime.
